GAS-BURNER.

Specification of Letters Patent. Eatented March 12, 1907.

Apnlicatlon filed July 27, 1906. Serial No. 328,094.

To ctZZ whom zit may concern: lating the mixture of air and gas. Fromthe Be it known that we, EDWARD S. SPRINGER devices 3 the supply-pipesextend forwardly and JOHN L. MALONEY, citizens of the United parallel toeach other and connect with a manifold 4, that receives gas from asuitable source through the pipe 5. Each of the supply-pipes is fittedwith a controlling-valve 5, that is intended to be located outside thestove, so as to permit the lid-burners and l each half of the mainburner to be separately operated.

The main burner A comprises a hollow body, preferably constructed in twosections divisible on a horizontal plane. Each section is cast with asuitable dish, so that when they are assembled the dish portions cooperate to form a chamber for receiving the mixture of gas and air to beburned. Extending longitudinally of the body is a partition 6, that ispreferably formed partly on each of the sections 7 and 8 by registeringwebs that closely fit, so as to form a gas-tight joint. On oppositesides of the web of the bottom section 8 are tapped inlet-openings 9 forreceiving the threaded ends of the supplypipes 1. Extending along thesides of the burner-body are two parallel walls 10one on each section.These walls cooperate to form a gas-discharging passage at each side ofthe burner, so as to heat the water-front and oven of the stove orrange. In order to deflect the flame and spread it to the best States,residing at Leavenworth, in the county of Leavenworth and State ofKansas, have invented a new and useful Gas-Burner, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The present invention relates to gas-burners which are adapted to burnnatural or artificial gas, and is designed more especially for heatingpurposes.

The invention has for one of its objects to improve the construction andoperation of i this type of burners so as to obtain the best I l I lcombustion and elliciency of gas consumption, proper deflection of theflame, increased durability by reason of the parts being sub stantiallymade, and ease of installation.

\Vith this and other objects in view, as will appear as the nature ofthe invention is better understood, the same comprises the various novelfeatures of construction and arrangement of parts described hereinafterand set forth with particularity in the claims appended hereto.

In the accompanying drawings,which illustrate certain embodiments of theinvention, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a rangeburner. Figs. 2 and3 are respectively an inverted plan view of the top section of the mainburner and plan view of the bottom section. Fig. 4 is a transversesection of the advantage, these passages are divided into main burnerbroken away. Fig. 5 is a cena plurality of ports formed by lugs 11rising tral vertical section of a lid-burner. from one of the walls 10.These lugs, as

shown in Fig. 3, are preferably arranged so that the passages or ports12 formed thereby radiate at gradually-increasing angles from the portsat the center of the burner to those at the ends. The walls 10 aresubstantially parallel, and they may be disposed with the plane ofdivision of the sections, or they may be disposed at any desired anglethereto. The sections of the burner are of ample dimensions so as toproduce large compartments whereby the gas can be thoroughly mixed andreadily distributed to the ports.

The lid-burners are adapted to be adjustably supported at the ends ofthe main burner, so as to accommodate the burner structure for ranges ofvarious sizes and having different distances between the lids. For thispurpose the burner-body A is cast with rentrant end walls, (indicated at13,)

Corresponding parts in the several figures are indicated throughout bysimilar characters of reference.

Referring to the drawings, and more particularly to Figs. 1 to 5, arange or stove burner is shown comprising a main burner or body A andlid-burners B, arranged at the ends of the main body, the apparatusbeing adapted to be placed in the fire-box of the l stove or range, sothat the main burner will heat the water front and oven, while thelidburners extend upwardly to the lid-openings of the stove for heatingcooking vessels, as will be readily understood. The main burner is madein two independent compartments, as will hereinafter appear, to whichgas is supplied through the supply-pipes 1, and the lid-burners aresupplied by the supply-pipes 2. Each of these burner-supply pipes isprovided with air-controlling devices 3 for regul ameter to receive theburner-tubes 2.

At the ends of thesections are end flanges 16, that extend entirely across the ends asparts of the webs. These end flanges are provided with re isteringapertures to receive retainingbo ts 17, whereby the sections are heldtogether.

By this construction the tubes are positively held in positionwithl with reentrant end walls and webs connecting the said end wallsand provided with perforations, a longitudinal partition formed by websin both sections for dividing the body into two compartments,gas-discharging ports in the body, independent inlets in one of thesections for supplying gas to each of the compartments, supply-pipesconnected with the inlets, and means for holding the sections together,in combination with a burner-tube at each end of the body extendingthrough one of the perforations of the said webs.
